Msty Studio - Into the Future
Msty has come a long way from where it all began as a desktop-only app known simply as Msty App, with our main website at msty.app.
We began our journey laser-focused on building a fast, intuitive tool that could keep up with the rapid pace of AI development. While that journey gave us a strong foundation (and an amazing community), we’ve grown far beyond what "just an app" can represent.
That’s why we’re excited to share a major step in our evolution: We're beginning our transition from msty.app to msty.ai - a domain that better reflects our broader mission to power all things AI while making it simple, powerful, and private.
Introducing Msty Studio: Web + Desktop
Along with this transition, we’re officially shifting our product focus to Msty Studio a more capable, more agile platform designed for both web and desktop users.
If you haven’t seen our Studio Desktop Announcement yet, now’s the time to catch up. With Msty Studio, we’ve re-architected everything from the ground up, taking what worked from the original app and rebuilding it for flexibility, speed, and scale.
This means the Msty App will be phased out and replaced with Msty Studio Desktop. For anyone who prefers installed apps over the web, Studio Desktop is your new home with faster performance, better memory handling, and access to the newest features, faster.
Why the Change?
AI has moved fast. So fast, in fact, that the original Msty App has already essentially become a legacy tool in many ways. It limited our ability to ship features quickly or stay nimble as the tech evolved.
Msty Studio (both Web and Desktop) gives us the platform flexibility and performance we need to meet today’s needs and tomorrow’s opportunities with a more unified product experience whether you’re in your browser or working locally.
What’s Coming Next
We’re just getting started. Here’s what you can expect on the horizon:
- A Free Version of Msty Studio (Desktop-only): We’re committed to making sure there’s always a free way to use Msty. The upcoming free tier for Studio Desktop will include at least all the same (or better) features currently available in the free version of Msty App.
- Enterprise Features: We’re working on a dedicated enterprise offering, including team/user management, RBAC, and other org-level controls. If you’re interested in using Msty at scale in your company, get in touch - we’d love to hear from you. Now is a great time to share your needs and help shape the future of Msty for your organization.
- Feature Matrix: We’re in the process of defining the core features that will be available in our different tiers. As we finalize these, we’ll share more details on what will be included in the free, Aurum, and enterprise versions of Msty Studio as well as these will be reflected on our pricing page.
- Lifetime Licenses: Aurum Lifetime Licenses are valid for Msty Studio, just as they were for the original Msty App. If you have an Aurum license, you’ll be able to use it with Msty Studio Desktop and Web. There is still a 2-device limit for the desktop version (this counts against both Msty App and Msty Studio Desktop), view our License Management docs for details on managing your devices. Studio Web does not have a device limit, so you can use it on any number of devices. For those who may be interested in purchasing a lifetime license, we plan on continuing to offer it, we do not have a date in mind for when we will stop offering lifetime licenses.
- Moving to msty.ai: As we bring all these pieces together, msty.ai will evolve in real time. We're in Alpha for Studio Desktop, with more updates rolling out steadily. As the pieces aren't all set right now, things will very much look or feel in flux — that’s because we’re building out the future right in front of you. 🏗️
